Julian Welham – Welwyn Garden City, Herfordshire – BMW 3-series
"There were so many excellent elements, but I must single out two.
1) Being aware of the limit points of one’s vision.
2) The art of balancing a car by selection of the correct gear, speed, placement on the road, anticipation etc.
Overall, I have been driving for 40-years. This was the most enjoyable day’s driving I have ever had. Moreover, I started the day with a lumbering rather slow BMW and ended the day with a new quick and beautifully balanced car, which is a joy to drive. Chris is an excellent tutor and I am very grateful to him."
Alec McLoskey – Chandlers Ford, Hampshire – VW Polo
"Was really interesting and learnt so much about the limits of the car and driver. Was very fun and interesting."
Jessica McDonald-Johnson – Brantham, Suffolk - Audi A6
“It was a wonderful way to safely learn about one’s own car and new driving techniques. Steve could not have been more patient and more charming. I would like another crack on the airfield.”
Louis Roeder - Crakbrook, Kent - BMW Z4
“Rob was very friendly, patient with a good sense of humour. The skid pan and airfield sessions were very useful.”
Mark Collins - Edinburgh - Lotus Elise
“Another good experience with Ride Drive. Both Ride Drive personnel with whom I had driven were very good to drive with. The skidpan and limit finding on the airfeild was very informative and the road skills were as thorough as I had hoped. The session achieved all my objectives and was very enjoyable. I will be recommending you.”
Merlin Hopkins – Bexhill on Sea - Toyota Soarer
“The day was spent learning and practising new skills and techniques to augment my driving ability. I now feel more of a confident and safe motorist able to get the most of my new car. The skid pan time also gave me a rare and useful chance to practise controlling the quirks of rear wheel drive cars.”
Alistair O’Reilly – Loughborough, Leicestershire – Ford Focus
“Great experience which has increased my driving ability and confidence. Paul Davis was a very knowledgeable and friendly instructor who gave clear and precise advice, which has helped improve my driving technique and road safety.”
Mark Taylor – London – TVR Chimaera
“This was the best driving experience I have had. I was very impressed with the performance of Ride Drive as a company and my particular instructor, Stuart. The depth of knowledge in driving techniques from this man was exceptional! The skills I have learned have changed the way I drive, especially the steering techniques.
Overall I think this course represents fantastic value for money (certainly cheaper than having to pay my insurance excess again!) I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending you to my sports car driving friends.”
